Classes are free and registration is not required. <br /><br />You may bring your own mat or borrow one of the library's (while supplies last).<br /><br />This class is gentle and beginner friendly. We work on balance, strength, flexibility, posture, breathing, meditation, and relaxation. <br /><br />Frequently Asked Questions:<br /><br />-What does it cost?<br />It's free!<br /><br />-Do I need to register in advance?<br />As of now, we are not requiring advanced registration. For that reason, it is a good idea to come a few minutes early and secure a spot. It is possible that we will need to require registration in the future.<br /><br />-Do I have to come every time?<br />No, just come when you can. That being said, you are definitely more likely to notice the results and rewards of yoga if you do it at least once per week.<br /><br />-What will it be like?<br />It is a slow-paced class designed for beginners to intermediate students. We will work on learning the postures of yoga. This is not a cardiovascular exercise class. <br /><br />-What should I wear?<br />Wear something comfortable, with a little give. Make sure to wear a top that is appropriate for inverted poses. It is best to practice yoga barefooted, but if you prefer, you can wear socks. I don't recommend wearing shoes.<br /><br />-Do I have to buy a yoga mat?<br />It's nice to have one-- you can usually find inexpensive ones ($12-16) at many retail stores. If you do decide to buy a mat, I recommend a thinner style. The thick mats seem like an attractive option but they are not very good for balance.<br /><br />-Am I flexible enough to do yoga?<br />We hear this a lot, but it's a silly question. You practice yoga in order to increase flexibility. If you're inflexible, you're a perfect candidate!<br /><br />-Is yoga a religion?<br />No, it is not. Yoga is a philosophy, science and art that comes from India and is estimated to be 5,000 years old.<br /><br />Additional tips:<br />-Try not to eat during the 1.5 hours leading up to class time.<br />-Bring a bottle of water.<br />-If you are prone to feeling cold, you may wish to bring a small blanket or a towel for final relaxation.<br />http://al.evanced.info/hmcpl/lib/eventsignup.asp?ID=48950
